I like the cut of your gib, never heard of these servos. I expect somebody else has here, as it comes from the KAP world it must have been thought out.

Hi,

I already posted a link to those servos a couple of week ago. Anyway they are not the best choice for a moving plane. About that please read the faq on the servo's page.
They are mainly for kites/static aerial vehicles.

Try only to imagine what could happen if you bank or even do a flat turn.

Yep... they were developed by a Kite Aerial Photography guy. I'm curious why there hasn't been greater adoption outside of KAP. It seems like a simple way to not only achieve image stabilization but also basic tracking while circling and such. In small drone pan/tilt turrets, space is at a premium - and you have to use servos anyway - so why not make the best use of available space.

Now, all I need is a better turret design.
